DETAILS

The first written biography of American frontiersman Kit Carson.

Illustrated throughout.

This work was the first biography of Carson and his adventures as a mountain man, wilderness guide, Indian agent and army officer.

This biography was intended to be factual however it has often been criticised for its inaccuracies and exaggerations.

This work also provides a topographical aspect of the lands Carson visits.

Includes a 'Complete history of the Modoc Indians and the Modoc War'.

Carson himself noted that maybe Peters laid on some parts a little 'too thick'.
